A Historic Connecticut Garden Tour
Learn more about the history of the grounds, from its 1900s heyday with its own groundskeeper à la Downton Abbey, up to the modern era.
Plus, see how the current owners use the grounds from the Innkeeper himself.
This garden tour will also offer a primer on permaculture. You’ll learn about unique, easy-care, vegetable, fruiting, and herbal plants that thrive in the Northeast and their uses.
How do we know they’ll thrive in your garden?
Because they’re planted throughout ours.
